Indian financial crime agency raids Chinese-owned Vivo

The Hindu  

India's financial crime-fighting agency on Tuesday raided the offices of smartphone maker Vivo, owned by China's BBK Electronics, and its related entities, a senior government official and an industry executive told Reuters. The raids at Vivo come months after the Enforcement Directorate launched an investigation into Xiaomi Corp, one of India's leading smartphone sellers, for alleged illegal remittances abroad "in the guise of royalty" payments. Xiaomi has denied any wrongdoing, and alleged in court that its top executives faced threats of "physical violence" and coercion during questioning by officials at the Directorate. India has cited security concerns in since banning more than 300 Chinese apps, and also tightened norms for Chinese companies investing in India.
